We are extremely excited about our recent partnership with Vype Media this school year. This is a great opportunity to highlight our school district, athletic programs, coaches, trainers, athletes and support groups. Our athletes and coaches have been working diligently in the Texas heat this summer and are chomping at the bit to reap the benefits of their hard work. Our student athletes have already proven that they have become not only good athletes, but also great citizens and role models in their schools and in the Alief community. Personally, I wish for them the best this season and in their future endeavors.

I can’t do this job alone. It takes a strong group of individuals to keep this ship moving in the right direction and I am so grateful for their support. Our athletic directors, Marla Brumfield Lewis and Ralph DeLaRosa, are my left and right hand. Together, we make an amazing team and their leadership guides our coaches, trainers and student athletes towards greatness. Our entire athletic team gives their all each and every day, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank them publicly for all that they have done for our students. This inaugural issue is just one of several new initiatives you will see from the Athletic department and we look forward to celebrating all of our programs in the district. To the administration, teachers, boosters and spectators, we thank you for your unconditional support and the extra effort that you give our kids. To the parents, thank you for doing such a fine job in raising these young men and women, and please continue to support them in their endeavors. To the student body and fans, cheerleaders, band, JROTC, dance team and especially our managers and athletic trainers, we thank you for your never-ending spirit, enthusiasm, and support. To our athletes, play hard, have fun, and always remember, “Do what’s right!” Let’s make this year the best yet! #WeAreAlief . Coach Scott Moehlig Alief ISD Athletic Director
